NFL Week 14 Power Rankings

Move along, nothing to see here. If the Seahawks play the Niners again, it’ll be in Seattle – and we all saw what happened last time. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)

2. Denver Broncos (11-2)

3. New England Patriots (10-3)

This team shouldn’t be struggling against the Texans and Browns. In fact, with six wins by three points or fewer, the Patriots might be the luckiest team in the league. Losing Rob Gronkowski definitely hurts, though. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

4. New Orleans Saints (10-3)

Big win for the Saints, who are still in the driver’s seat for a playoff bye. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)

5. Cincinnati Bengals (9-4)

The Bengals are 7-2 over their last nine games. Both losses came on the road in overtime. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

14. Indianapolis Colts (8-5)

The Colts are 3-3 since losing Reggie Wayne for the season. Those wins came against the Texans and the Titans (twice) – by an average of 4.7 points. The losses have been by an average of 24.3. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

15. Detroit Lions (7-6)

I get that Matthew Stafford is from Florida and played in the SEC, but five fumbles? Really? (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

16. Miami Dolphins (7-6)

Props to the Dolphins for winning in Pittsburgh in the snow. Now they just need to beat New England. A Baltimore loss wouldn’t hurt, either. (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)

17. San Diego Chargers (6-7)

The Chargers are still alive in the AFC, but they’ll need to win at Denver on Thursday. Good luck. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images)

23. St. Louis Rams (5-8)

The Rams haven’t scored a touchdown before the fourth quarter in either of their last two games. They’ve lost both. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-9)

That’s four wins in five games after an 0-8 start. Anybody see that coming? (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)

25. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9)

See above. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)

26. Cleveland Browns (4-9)

One play never decides a game, but that call was brutal. A win at New England would have made the Browns’ season. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

27. Minnesota Vikings (3-9-1)

Another last-minute lead lost. That makes five on the season. Let’s just hope Adrian Peterson is okay. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)

28. Oakland Raiders (4-9)

Oakland had dropped five of six to guarantee an 11th straight non-winning season. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)

29. Buffalo Bills (4-9)

Buffalo has dropped five of six to guarantee a ninth straight losing season. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)

30. Atlanta Falcons (3-10)

Another double-digit lead squandered. The Falcons are 3-0 when they score at least 31 points, 0-10 when they don’t. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

31. Washington Redskins (3-10)

The 45-10 final to the Chiefs was Washington’s worst home loss since 1998. So long, Mike. (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)

32. Houston Texans (2-11)

After losing 11 straight – and twice to Jacksonville in the last three weeks – Gary Kubiak needed to go. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
